  • Defeat Project 2025

    Defeat Project 2025

    Defeat Project 2025

    This quick video invites you to check out a new series of articles on our Lean to the Left blogsite that analyze the key components of the GOP's Project 2025 and what they would mean to our country.

    The articles take apart this maniifesto by the Heritage Foundation, which has been embraced by the RNC and which was essentially copied and pasted into the Republican platform. While Trump claims to know nothing about Project 2025, it's basically his party's platform.

    You can find the articles at https://leantotheleft.net.

    Please check them out and let us know what you think.

  • Healing Racism from Within: An Interview with J.D. Mass

    Healing Racism from Within: An Interview with J.D. Mass
    Jul 22 2024
    In this episode of the 'Lean to the Left' podcast, host Bob Gatty interviews J.D. Mass, author of "Race for What? A White Man's Guide to Healing Racism from Within."

    They discuss J.D.'s journey growing up in a diverse neighborhood, his experiences with racism, and his involvement in anti-racist groups. The conversation delves into J.D.'s transformative book, which outlines seven steps to heal racial injustice.

    They also touch on political dimensions of racism, J.D.'s podcast 'Same Difference,' and the necessity of addressing systemic and cultural shifts for genuine racial healing.

    Please note: The interview took place just before President Biden announced he was stepping aside and endorsing Vice President Kamala Harris to succeed him. There is discussion at about 21 minutes regarding Biden's age and health issues and whether Kamala Harris will make it to the Oval Office.

  • Watch Out Trump: Kamala is Coming for You

    Watch Out Trump: Kamala is Coming for You
    Jul 22 2024
    Big news with President Biden withdrawing as the Democratic presidential candidate and endorsing Vice President Kamala Harris to take on Donald Trump. It was obviously a difficult decision for Joe Biden to make, but under the circumstances, it was the right one. There is no way this country can weather another four years of Trump, and there are too many questions about the ravages of age and health surrounding Biden.

    Now we can move forward and work as hard as possible to elect Harris and defeat Trump. He simply cannot be allowed anywhere near the Oval Office – not even out on the sidewalk!

    Female voters will be excited – especially those who are concerned about Republican plans to wipe out abortions nationally and interfere with the private acts that take place in the bedroom. Who would think that in 2024 there would be serious discussions about restricting contraception!

    Joe Biden has worked his tail off as President and has made remarkable progress in the face of vicious opposition from Republicans and Donald Trump. His legacy will be one of achievement and success, of selfless determination to make America better for everyone, not just the top one percent, as is the case with Trump. With Trump, it’s all about himself. With Biden, it’s about America.
